Vein/outcrop/bedrock ore Explanation: Lode is ok in specific contexts, tho I'd prefer vein as more generally useful. Seam is generally for something bigger (stratum) More pleasant reading from wiki below: where searching 'lode' finds the term used only in connection with gold. Then there is bedrock ore: ore embedded in bedrock (see if you can open this link) http://11ips.laurentian.ca/NR/rdonlyres/5C18070A-7FE1-4F4F-8... Found this one desribing your context; http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/30064717?uid=3738984&u... Google bedrock ore + outcrop -- somewhere to look in any case!
